Born Liars: Why We Can’t Live Without Deceit by Ian Leslie
Requirements: ePub reader, 502kb
Overview: Our attitudes to lying are confused and contradictory – you might even say, self-deceiving. On the one hand we hate lies, and liars. On the other, we all indulge in fibs, tall tales and fantasies. If lying is wrong, why do we all do it – both to others, and to ourselves? In Born Liars, Ian Leslie argues that, far from being a bug in the human software, lying is central to who we are; that we cannot understand ourselves without first understanding the dynamics of deceit. Using a vivid, panoramic style, he explores the role of deception and self-deception in our childhoods, our careers, and our health, and the part played by lies – both black and white – in art, advertising, sport, politics and war.
